Child,
Your turn. My lead-in is up. |
Crystal Cobweb I hope that you're now fully recovered. :) I have finally got round to replying to Jadelen so if you're here, take it away!

Mormegil,
If Manwe doesn't show, would you possibly be interested in getting Kuric somehow entangled in the children's subplot? It's the one that Tevildo did a post on today and I am planning to answer him with Tolman. Confession....at this point, we actually have no idea what Tolman threw down on the table. :D We were batting around some possiibilities by pm. Nothing is really decided yet. Haven't even had a chance to get Folwren's input but of course we are going to do that since she also has a child. Anyways, if you'd like to be involved in the planning or writing, just give the word to Tevildo or myself. It would be fun for us to come up with a little slice of life that's just a bit more "plot driven" than recent posts have been....nothing like a full fledged RPG, of course, which would be inappropriate for the Inn, but some kind of scrape the kids could get themselves involved in.... (And if anyone else would like to latch onto this, let us know.) |
Yay! Some first interactions with my new character! She's been there all of five minutes, and she's already soaking wet. I love it...what a brilliant idea... :D Nothing like a dripping-wet elf to make matters interesting. Thanks for the...erm...ale-filled welcome!
Oh-ho! I remembered to take my siggy out of my post this time 'round. I'm learning. |
Yes. All of five minutes. Leave it up to me to make things exciteable. :o (;))
You're quite welcome for the welcome. I needed to get both you and Finduilas moving. I've seen too many characters come in and sit down and never move again. -- Folwren |
Child I am very interested, in fact, the original idea was to have the children pester poor master Kuric. Let's wait a day or two for Manwe to respond to Folwren and then if nothing I'll simply tell the ranger that I'm bored with his conversation and going to my room, which will make me involved as I'm right next to the ruffian children.
|
Mormegil - Sounds good. I am crazy busy today but once I get my head screwed on right I'll drop you an email to tell you what Tevildo and Folwren and I have been thinking.
|
Mormegil, Folwren, Tevildo -
I've put some ideas into a pm. Please let me know how it sounds. |

Sorry Mormegil! It all piled up at once. Mailbox cleared.
|
Did you get my reply yesterday, Child? It wasn't very insightful, just agreement. :D
-- Folwren |
Folwren,
Yes, thanks! Tevildo also said to forge ahead. I'll wait to get Mormegil's response (me bad about the mailbox!) and then post. |
There. I just forwarded his PM to you. I'm impatient. :rolleyes:
-- Folwren |
:D
PM received! I am cranking up Tom for later today. |
I've heard from Mormegil and we're all set to go ahead. I posted for Tom, showing the others the key.
There's no rush though as Kuric still needs to disentangle himself from his present conversation. I think the kiddos will have plenty to do pillaging around the other rooms before they get to Kuric's. |
Excellent. I'll see what I can do today for Lil. :D
And Nicci and Fin - I'm ready for either of you to post with Dick. -- Folwren |
Hey guys remember me? I want to get back into RPing! I miss my old days of being a LotR addcit ^_^ I know everyone can join the Inn, but I just thought I'd post a warning that you'll have someone new :D
|
Hi, Elentari! I definitely remember you.
We played together in Hunt for the Dragon back in the summer of 2003. :D Glad to hear you are thinking of writing again. I know there's a new game under development. I believe this one will be in the Shire. I'll pass the word along and you can keep your eyes open for a discussion thread. Meanwhile you may want to post in the Golden Perch. The rules for the new Inn are a little different. You put up a profile on the discussion thread and it's approved by Folwren who is the Innkeeper. Then you go ahead and post. Just read the beginning of this thread and you'll see how it's slightly changed from the Dragon. A few of us are working on an Inn subplot for hobbit children who get into some mischief in the Inn. If you have an interest in that, let me know. Or you're welcome to develop another character of your choosing. If Pio or I can be of any help, just drop one of us a note. - Child |
Mainly for Kath...
Have you heard anythong from Crystal Cobweb? I will post for RPG Mith by the end of the week I hope (I have TOM and EMH posts do do first) - only so as to know if you want to be extracted from your situation;) or leave Cir the Younger to face the music alone for a while.... I thought it might be funny to have him try osanwe kenta to warn you but you to ignore him because youthink he is trying to apologise;)

Child,
I've popped in once of twice since I stopped posted here in early '06, and I saw the Inn when it was still fairly new. Have read the stuff on the first posts before, but I will definately read them again. I need to get back into the swing of writing properly. Way too much chat speak! My books are just getting left unwritten due to lack inspiration. I'm hoping writing here again will help ^_^ Got to decide what my character's going to be like though, because I never really think it through enough. May use a non-LotR character I have and just push her into Middle Earth, lol. ^_^ |
Oh, also, what are peoples views on Half-Elves? My character's a half-elf, but I'm not sure how Tolkien had them, whether the elf traits or the human traits are stronger. I was thinking about having my character as a half elf with no elven traits and she doesnt know her father was an elf. Would that work? Just realised I really shouldnt use this character because she's in one of my books, lol. I'll created a new character based on her though, seeing as she wasn't a LotR character anyway. But now I have to come up with a new name.
|
I thought half-elves were a no no here?

I would prefer it if you just made her full elf or full man. Thanks! And welcome here! I look forward to your character and her entrance to the inn. :) -- Folwren |
Well, just in case I'll do a human ^_^ Dont know why, but I've never done a Hobbit character. Mabye I should :/ Ah, yup, just read in the character form that half elves are a no no ^_^ Well, expect to see a character description from me soon. Be it human or hobbit, only Eru knows :D
[edit] just saw your post Folwren ^_^ Will stick to full races. I'm so out of touch with this site, lol |
Elentari - your character bio has been posted to the character list for the inn on page 1. ~*~ Pio
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAME: Lynaata AGE: 17 RACE: Human GENDER: Female WEAPONS: A small dagger she picked up in Bree. The hilt has an intricate design, but all the jewels have been removed by thieves, the dagger discarded as it is of no value. APPEARANCE: Lyn is tall and slim, perhaps too slim. When she arrived in Stock her hair was unkempt and in need of a thorough wash. Her eyes are dark brown, as is her long hair. She wears a simple green dress, the colour of which has faded with age. On her feet she wears an old, tatty pair of leather boots, quite obviously designed for a man with much larger feet than her own. PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Lyn is a very shy and timid person, due to her upbringing (see history). She believes she has no strengths, although during her life in Bree she developed quick reflexes to avoid beatings. Lyn believes nothing she does is good enough, although she does her best to please. Although she cannot write, she is good with words from listening to wealthy men talking in the inn where she used to work. HISTORY: Lyn never knew her blood parents. The couple who adopted her believed they could not have children of their own, so when a babe, Lyn, was left at the gates of Bree they volunteered to care for the child as their own. However, when Lyn was five years old, her "mother", Tara, fell pregnant. When Tara and Peter's son, Ian, meaning "gift from god", Lyn's life changed dramatically. Her parents no longer cared for her, no longer did they shower her with gifts, for they were not poor, though nor were they rich. Tara decided that once Lyn was eleven she should work to earn her keep. Lyn found a job as a maid at a little known inn a small distance from Bree. The work at the inn was hard for an eleven year old, but the kind hearted Innkeeper took pity on her. For five years Lyn enjoyed her work as a maid spent more time at the Inn than her home. But good things never last, as Lyn learned long ago, and so it was that the old Innkeeper passed away. His son, who took over the business, was a brutal man, and had never liked Lyn. He claimed Lyn used her looks to win his father's favour. He took it upon himself to beat her for every little mistake, even if there were none he would invent one. Her father, Peter, cared little of this, as he had always beaten her himself when he was drunk or in a fowl mood. On Lyn's seventeenth birthday, Peter made an offer to the Innkeeper, Ronald. If Ronald took Lyn for his wife, Peter would pay him dearly, saying it would cost him less to bribe a man to wed her than it would for him to keep her in his house. Ronald, a greedy man, accepted. The beatings increased in number and force. Often Lyn would be left senseless in an unused room of the Inn, then to be punished again when Ronald accused her of sleeping on the job. Eventually Lyn decided enough was enough. Her journey was not an easy one. She had never travelled before, had no sense of how to fend for herself, nor did she know the way. It was by chance that she stumbled upon Stock, mere days before the food she had stolen from Ronald would have run out. Her journey had taken much longer than it would for a healthy woman her age, but her Peter and Ronald had left her crippled. She found it hard to walk at any speed, at her left leg had been fractured more than once, leaving her bone prone to more injuries if she was not careful. ~~~ Woah, ok, way longer than I have ever managed to write a character description before. I love this character already ^_^ |
Oh dear, oh dear, my sincerest apologies to all the players. I'm afraid I won't be able to jump in and participate again until the 23rd. Morm sorry I made all that fuss to just leave you in the lurch it was not my intention.
Good luck with the plan's you've been formulating. I look forward to getting time to read it when i'm freed up. |

I think i'm gonna use that long history bit for my first post if Lyn gets approved lol ^_^

I will begin to prepare this tomorrow. |
Masked Nicci, I was thinking you should post next. My character is not the kind to start a conversation. I know it's kinda my turn, but your character has a little more to write about :D .
|
Elentari,
Please check your PMs. Thanks! -- Folwren |
Edited Lyn's history to remove the prancing pony ^_^

Elentari
Your character bio has been posted to the character list for the inn on page 1 of this thread. ~*~ Pio |
Ooo, thanks Pio ^_^ Does that mean I can post at the inn now? Better read through the lost page or so of posts thoroughly
edit - also before i post anything, could someone tell me what time of year we're at and roughly what time of day? I've looked but i cant find any hints as to either ^^; I'm probably just being blind. It's nearly midnight, lol. |
Yes, Elentari, you may post on the game thread. I'm sorry I didn't make that clear.
I believe it's May 6, though I can't remember perfectly, and right now, it's later in the morning, I think. I don't recall which year it is, but that can be found at the beginning of this thread. -- Folwren |
Eep! Sorry, I should have replied sooner! Dick replied like, the same day, and I've taken forever! :eek: It's difficult to rein her in, and try and keep her to my original vision. The first run for a character is always the toughest for me. :D Not to mention she's such a stiff character. Most of my past characters seem like care-free hippies compared to Alassë...
|
Finally got round to doing my first post ^_^ Hope I haven't got anything wrong in it ^^;
|
Good post, Elentari. Glad to see you joined. :)
Nicci and Fin, I'll see if I can get a post up for Dick today. I'm rather busy... But I'll do my best. -- Folwren |
